I met up with Steve (1147silver) very early this morning to hit two sites he had selected. We spent about two hours detecting at the first site where I picked up several wheat cents, an Indian Head cent, and a mercury dime. After that Steve suggested we head to the second site, but once there we found that we were digging some deep clad and aluminum screw caps. :eyebrow: It appeared that the site had been layered with newer soil at some point, but we still worked it for about 40 minutes or so. :yes: We then tried to hit another site, but once there Steve received a call and had to leave. Just when we were getting warmed up. lol There was a common not far from the site so I headed there and detected for about two hours and picked up a 1905 Barber dime, three Indian Head cents, an old Eagle on Cannon Artillery button, and several old wheat cents.

Thanks for the invite, Steve! It was a pleasure to meet you and to detect together. :yes:

Here are today's finds.

The button is that old? :shocked04: I need to start paying more attention to the buttons. lol Thanks for the ID, Dan! thumbsup01
 
Glad you guys got out for a hunt.

Nice bunch of keepers for the day. I think my favorite is the button... very old and an awesome piece to add to your collection.

Congrats.
 
Hey I think that button is midieval or ancient, possibly pre-earth rofl Oh no, maybe that was the ring :eyebrow: ;) Nice that you and Steve had a chance to get a short hunt in. You got some decent finds. Not a bad day at all. You have to get on the ball and start cleaning some of them finds this winter :rolleyes: That common sure has potential :thinkingabout:
 
hmm! notice how angel kinda slinks over to to common. :devilish: he knows whats there! SILVER DAM IT!! :shocked04: nice hunt bud. willy
 
Sounds like you two had at least a decent hunt. Any silver makes for a great hunt for me!

When I saw the title I just assumed that 1147 was the amount of silver you found. :dontknow:
 
Some really neat finds Angel, I'd take any of it! :drool: :twirlingeyes: I say you are still on track for the big 1000!!! :beatdeadhorse:

I don't think I'll be hitting the 1,000 mark. :dontknow: The time change plus not being able to detect in the late afternoon has cut into my chances quite a bit. :ticked: I'll be trying out some new sites during the weekend so hopefully I may be able to add a few more pieces to the pile. :cheesysmile: Or maybe I should just be content and call it quits now. lol

Best of luck!
